LEMON CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to moderate 180°C.

• Combine flour, paprika, salt and pepper in a clean plastic bag and add the chicken and toss to coat (I just used a shallow bowl and dipped the chicken in the mix).
• Arrange the chicken in a single layer in the baking dish and brush the chicken with butter and bake for 30 minutes.
• SAUCE - meanwhile, in a small jug, combine all ingredients and season to taste.
• Pour sauce over chicken and return to oven for a further 20 to 30 minutes or until chicken is golden and cooked through.
• Serve with a salad of choice and prawn crackers, I served with mashed potatoe and steamed vegetables.

CHICKEN WITH ROQUEFORT CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with pepper. Add chicken to skillet and cook until golden brown on all sides, about 8 minutes. Add cream, wine, garlic and herbes de Provence. Cover and simmer until chicken is tender and cooked through, turning once, about 20 minutes.
• Transfer chicken to platter. Boil cooking liquid in skillet until reduced to sauce consistency, about 5 minutes. Add cheese and whisk until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth. Season generously with pepper. Pour sauce over chicken. Garnish with chives and serve.

BOBBY FLAY'S CHICKEN WITH ROQUEFORT

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Put honey in a small saucepan and cook over medium-low heat until lightly golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add vinegar and cook until reduced and thickened, about 15 minutes. This sweet deglazed sauce is called a gastrique. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Keep warm.
• Mix together the butter and blue cheese in a small bowl until well blended, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Using your fingers, gently loosen the skin from the chicken breasts and stuff about 1 heaping tablespoon of the blue cheese butter under the skin of each breast, smoothing the skin to evenly distribute the butter over the surface of the breast meat. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
• Heat oil in large ovenproof sauté pan over medium heat until it begins to shimmer. Put chicken in the pan, skin-side down, and cook until fat renders and skin is golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes. Turn chicken and add four rosemary sprigs to pan. Place in oven and roast until breasts are just cooked through, about 5 minutes longer. Remove pan from oven and heat broiler. Spread the remaining butter over the tops of each breast and place under the broiler until golden brown and blistered.
• Remove each breast to a plate, spoon some of the pan drippings over each breast and immediately drizzle with some of the gastrique. Garnish with rosemary.
